THIRD SECTION

Application no. 50586/18 Henry OBINNA IBE against Sweden lodged on 25 October 2018

SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE

The application concerns the deportation to Nigeria of a Nigerian man whose asylum application was rejected by the domestic authorities and courts. The case raises an issue under Article 3, namely the applicant ’ s medical health and his access to adequate medical care in Nigeria. The applicant suffers from chronic kidney failure and will need dialysis three times a week for the rest of his life. He claims that in Nigeria he would have to pay for the necessary medical care, including dialysis, and that such care is very expensive there.

QUESTION tO THE PARTIES

In the light of the applicant ’ s claims and the documents which have been submitted, would he face a risk of being subjected to treatment in breach of Article 3 of the Convention if the deportation order were enforced? In particular, would he face such a risk on account of his medical condition and his access to adequate medical care in Nigeria?
